Indigenous leaders from across Latin America have embarked on a flotilla from the banks of the Napo River in Coca, Ecuador, as they sail to Belém, Brazil, for the U.N. climate summit set to begin next month. Members of the Yaku Mama Amazon Flotilla are demanding an end to fossil fuels, protections for Indigenous territories and ecosystems from oil, mining and industrial agriculture, and a ban on fossil fuel extraction in the Amazon rainforest. Democracy Now! will be in Belém broadcasting from COP30.
